Hi lybrate-user
size of the lymph nides also mater. Usually subcentimere sized nodes are due to infection from bacteria and viruses. If you do not have fever, cough, weight loss etc, generally there is no need to worry.

Health Query

Whenever I get really bad cold or fever I notice a swollen lymph node in neck which is like in the size of pepper or peanut. It appears only when I get cold but stays for years and never go away. Two years before I found two swollen nodes when I had severe cold and fever and it never gone down or grew. And this week I again had a bad cold and found another swollen lymph node.

Hi
swollen lymph nodes in the neck are a common occurrence during colds or infections, as they are part of the body's immune response to fight off infections. If the swollen lymph nodes are painless, small, and remain the same size, they are likely not a serious issue. However, if they grow larger, become painful, or are accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, weight loss, or night sweats, it is important to go for routine blood tests as well as usg
regards.

General Physician•Kolkata

If it happened while lifting heavy weight and if the pain started suddenly, it is possible that there is a tear in one of the tendons or one of the muscles itself. If that's the case, it is an emergency. You should visit an orthopaedician right away and surgical repair might be needed. The surgeon might advise an mri scan to determine the nature and extent of damage and then proceed to treat accordingly.

General Physician•Chennai

Dear user, masturbation is not related to wound healing and so it will not slow down healing process. It is safe when practised at regular intervals and without getting addicted to it. I advise good nutritious food with fruit juices like lemon and vegetables with iron such as spinach ,calcium rich food like milk, yoghurt, cheese and a healthy lifestyle for faster wound healing.
